Patient's question:
I am pregnant and do not want a child. I want to have a medication abortion, but I'm afraid of the pain. Hello, do medication abortions hurt?Doctor's answer:
Medical abortion, like having a menstrual period, is generally painless. Starting from the first day of the last menstrual period, medical abortion should not be performed before 49 days. An ultrasound examination should be conducted after 40 days to ensure that the gestational sac has entered the uterine cavity before using medication for medical abortion. After the medical abortion procedure, it is important to take oral medication to contract the uterus and reduce inflammation. Around 10 days later, an ultrasound follow-up is recommended to check if the miscarriage is complete.
